What's new in this version:

The Big Ones:
- Two new languages are now available for the documentation: Spanishand Dutch. This brings the total number of translations to six. Thanks to all the translators for their hard work.

Other New Features And Changes:
- Speed up the retouch's heal tool by using better parallelism
- Add new variable $(DARKTABLE_VERSION)

Fixed:
- Fix control and feather points for path and brush shapes when editing using zoom > 200%. The editing is now smooth and no longer jumps as the mouse is moved.
- On the lighttable view, fix Shift-click when selecting a range - at least one image must first be selected
- Fix expansion of some variables on Windows
- Fix SVG rendering by computing proper dimension in the watermark module with libsvg 2.52
- Fix printing when the export module is set to scale mode. This was caused by a bug in the interaction between export/print.
- Fix print module image layout display when using inch unit
- Fix yellow border for selected grouped images
- Fix some tag export issues
- Fix crash on Windows when importing from a folder containing special characters.
- Fix mouse-over thumbnail display when leaving the lighttable from the bottom - ensure that the thumbnail stops being highlighted
- Remove the double-click hint in the crop module for committing parameters. This functionality was removed in darktable 3.8.0.
- Better layout for the star and rejected icons
- Fix some refresh issues on the guide overlays menu - ensure that the popup shows the current settings after they have been changed via a keyboard shortcut
- Fix guide lines in the rotate and perspective module - ensure the guides are displayed only within the cropped area
- Fix Piwigo export for new version of Piwigo which now uses a lounge for new images. We now flush it to ensure the images are assigned to their corresponding album.
- Fix handling of circle/ellipse sources in the retouch module. Shapes can now be moved immediately after placing them via drag+drop.
- Fix a bug in rotate and perspective that was preventing removal of the last manually drawn line
- Fix multiple issues in tagging module. Some UI interactions have been reworked to be closer to what a user would expect.

Also, some new keys have been added:
- shift-enter attach selected tag, reset entry and give it the focus
- shift-left collapse the entire tree
- Fix multiple drag+drop issues on the lighttable that were causing crashes
- Fix a possible crash with very large up-scaling at export
- Rework the history items on thumbnail tooltips
- Rework the GUI for the copy / paste of history items. The on/off status icon has been removed from the labels and replaced with a specific "on/off" column
- Fix some demosaicer issues specific to AMD OpenCL drivers
- Fix possible crash in styles module for style names containing a slash
- Add option to enter the new module instance name automatically when duplicating a preset
- Fix Filmic RGB graph update when used in the quick access panel
- Restore shortcut for creating a virgin duplicate in the lighttable view
- Allow presets in the tagging module to append the tags instead of replacing them
- Fix tooltip on mid-tones vs extreme luminance saturation sliders in Filmic RGB
- Fix crop adjustment in rotate and perspective module when preview down-sampling is active. Movements were amplified making the adjustment harder and the clicked location was not constant when dragging the crop area
- Fix writing XMP metadata in AVIF format
- Fix importing from SMB shares mounted using gvfs
- Fix possible color shifting when activating lens correction on a monochrome image
- Fix $(RATING_ICONS) variable substitution - now displays an "X" when rating is 0 instead of an empty string
- Add some missing variable substitutions in the displayed list
- Fix reset button in metadata editor. The metadata entries were properly removed from the selected pictures but the module display was not refreshed.
- Fix enabling processing modules from a shortcut. The module is no longer given focus when activated, matching the "click" behaviour.
- Fix automatic tab selection when opening the preferences in non English languages
- Improve the unknown DNG illuminant handling
- Fix high quality export when the export size is specified "by scale"
- Fix some shortcuts being ignored when applied to a widget in an inactive or unfocused popover dialog
